Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Kingston Park who completed the legal work 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from Bank of Ireland.

The Kingston Park conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in Kingston Park have suddenly closed. They were on acting for me because I needed a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and my family Kingston Park lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to help.
